Training

It is recommended to use Gem Gloves while leveling. They will provide a stream of gems that you can sell for profit. Keep Emeralds for Emerald Bolts and Diamonds for Diamond Luck Potions.

If you don't have money to buy Gem Gloves, either sell Mithril Ore, smelt and sell Gold Bars, or get money through the

Fishing money-making method. It is also recommended to use any Mastery Pool experience to increase the

Mastery

level of nodes that you're about to mine to level 30. The

Mastery

level of a node increases the Rock HP, greatly reducing the waiting time for the node to respawn. Later, it is more beneficial to save the pool experience for the Mastery pool bonuses. Follow the list below. Mine Copper Ore and Tin Ore in approximately equal amounts for

, and keep all Coal Ore for the same reason.

Level	Ore
1-15	Copper Ore or Tin Ore
15-30	Iron Ore
30-50	Coal Ore
50-80	Mithril Ore
80-100	Runite Ore
100-102	Corundumite Ore
102-105	Iridium Ore
105-108	Palladium Ore
108-112	Augite Ore
112-115	Meteorite Ore
115-120	Divinite Ore

We transition from Mithril directly to Runite because otherwise we stretch the mastery thin across the ores, which leads to more ore-respawn downtime, resulting in slower progression.
